The November 2004 report of the Task
Force on Health and Well-Being estimated that 140 to 150 additional child care
spaces are needed, particularly for infants and toddlers.

Princeton NJ — The implementation of a backup care program is one of several
efforts initiated by the University’s Child Care Working Group.

Last fall, the group worked with the offices of human resources,
community and state affairs, and public affairs to create a set of child care
options for the early November school holidays and plans to offer similar
information for spring break. The group also helped organize a Summer Camp Expo
on Feb. 2 to provide faculty, staff and graduate students with information on
opportunities for children of all ages.

The information and registration session for spring break programs
is set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, in the lobby of Dillon Gym. In
addition to representatives from organizations offering programs during spring
break, a representative from Work Options Group will be available to answer
questions and register participants for the backup care program.

The Child Care Working Group is continuing to develop plans for a
major expansion of child care on campus. The November 2004 report of the Task
Force on Health and Well-Being estimated that 140 to 150 additional child care
spaces are needed, particularly for infants and toddlers.

The group is chaired by Joan Girgus, professor of psychology and
special assistant to the dean of the faculty on matters relating to gender
equity. Other members are: Ann Halliday, associate secretary of the University
and special assistant to the president; Ben Hammond, director of planning and
administration in the Office of the Executive Vice President; Robin Moscato,
senior associate director of undergraduate financial aid; Alison Nelson,
manager of benefits in the Office of Human Resources; Mary Piteo, work/life
coordinator in the Office of Human Resources; and Terri Harris Reed, associate
provost for institutional equity.
